Expert  4269   |  Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - Open For BusinessOriginally posted by sandishr Great job, Jenn! Can't wait to hear more about the race. David...been thinking about this...can you now receive beer via mail? I didn't see if you got anyone on the weight loss challenge with you. BUT, if you need motivation....set a goal. If you meet it by end of July, I send you beer. If you meet another by end of August, I send more beer. Planned on doing a swim/bike brick today, but woke up exhausted. I think I'll switch my day off. It's so damn hot here this week that running is tough, I'll have to be up before 6 to do anything. Devon....I don't know what it is about HR, but I am not capable of running within ANY version of my HR zones. Never have been. I just go off of perceived effort. There is clearly a HR (WELL above any calculated zone) that is too high for me, and I work to avoid that. Sandi Sandi - I am all about trading a couple of beers for motivation. Let's think of a goal and how we can make it happen! |

But it was a very long run through T1 to my bike. I'll do a report in a few days - but I survived! LOL Well done Jenn! A good time on the swim and a strong bike segment. You'd beat me if we were to go head to head! Looking forward to seeing the race report so I can hear all about it - especially the post race beer! Congrats! |

Expert 4269 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - Open For Business Being back at my cottage in michigan and working out at the places where I prepped for IMMT has been kind of neat. Today I walked/ran for sixty minutes on the field where I did most of my run training last summer. The last time I had stepped foot on the field, I had ran 17 miles after biking 60 miles... with the last two hours in almost total darkness (so I'd be ready to run in the dark). So it was a little sobering to be only running for 60 minutes in 1 minute run/4 minute walk intervals. But what it filled me with was a sense of pride in what I had accomplished and the confidence that even though the road back would be tough - I knew I could do it having done it before... Hope everyone is having a great weekend! DQ |

Let's think of a goal and how we can make it happen! This is my motivational tool for you. What's your goal for the end of July? It doesn't have to be pounds if the issues are more food/eating....you've lost the weight, you've gained it....you know what you need to do....tell me what you know you CAN do and I'll send you a six pack if you do it.

I'm not sure that that means - but I've got to stop the binging and the mixed workouts... Let me give it some thought. What would you do to earn a six pack from Boston? |

Expert 4269 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - Open For Business On the advice of my coach - I upped my milage for my long ride from 35 to 50 this week... Having missed the last two long rides, the 3:30 hours it took me was incredibly hard. This was my longest ride this year and just proved how big the mental part of tri is. 15 miles into the ride - my legs were telling me they were done but I just gutted it out. When I got home - I felt like I had accomplished something. That's something I've been missing - that feeling like I had done something worthwhile. I'm hoping to keep these workouts going.... |

1007 DeLand, Florida | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - Open For Business Great work Jenn!!!!! BTW not sure if you noticed, but you averaged nearly 17mph, on a very hilly course, over 56 miles. AFTER 41 minutes of swimming. To me this is herculean!

Expert 4269 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - Open For Business Here is my question - How can I use my Garmin 910 to improve my swim times? Does anyone know a guide I could to set up my watch in order to give me some metrics that would help me analyze my stroke. Right now, I'm swimming at a pace of 2:12x100 and I know I have room for improvement. Since it's summer, I'm doing most of my swims in a lake. Also - how can I improve it's accuracy. I've heard of some people placing the watch in their swim cap but I still get the lost signal warning. Thanks in advance for your thoughts! |

Extreme Veteran 1648 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - Open For Business Man I wish there was a like button for that John! Dave- sounds like a good plan for the week. I have a dilemma - I am trying to decide if I should race Xterra USA champs merely because I qualified. the bike is brutal though and I have never done anything nearly that hard. So, do I sign up and hope I figure out how to climb 3400ft in the next 2.5 months? I can't decide. |

Extreme Veteran 1648 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - Open For Business It's not that impressive when the first 15 qualify and there are only 5 entered in your age group and you got 5th ;-) |

| 1941 , Vermont | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - Open For Business Hey, I got 2nd in my age in the Aquabike out of 2 in my age group (missed first by 2 minutes). It counts!! Take it!! I got a plaque for crying out loud! Bwahahaha! Give it a shot, what the heck do you have to lose?! Go for it!! Then next year when you qualify again you'll have had prior experience to kick a$$ even more! Go, girl!!! |

Extreme Veteran 1648 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - Open For Business The only reason I'm considering is because it's on my 40th BDay and I have a history of doing stupid things on milestone birthdays ;-) I love that you got a plaque for your Aqua bike! My daughter was doing races in the backyard with friends and was awarding them all medals from our collection yesterday. |

| 141 Colorado Springs, Colorado | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - Open For Business Dave, if I were you I would look into a Finis tempo trainer. Fantastic piece of gear that will improve your stroke cadence and pace all around. Should be able to track one down on Amazon or other swim store. Hope everyone had a good weekend, just starting mine off. Got off work early last night, decided to head down to one of the other casinos in town with $100. Was up a few hundred counting cards, well on my way to putting a nice dent in my next bike purchase. Played into a strong count, and got crushed.  Oh well, only $100. Was fun while it lasted though. Lol. |

I've heard of some people placing the watch in their swim cap but I still get the lost signal warning. Thanks in advance for your thoughts! Does the 910 have a metronome? I know the 920 and Fenix3 do. You could use that to increase your swim cadence. I know it's not available in the menu for swimming on my fenix3, but to try it out, you could just set it to run, with the metronome where you want it. Personally, I have only seen speed gains in the pool with technique improvement. Streamlined body will do more than almost anything else. Neutral head position, good rotation and your feet straight behind you. Edited by fifthcircle 2015-06-29 3:44 PM |

| 189 Quakertown, Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - Open For Business Check-in It's been a few days since check-in. The weekend was crappy, so I stayed inside and used a stationary bike. I was a puddle of sweat when I was done, so I think I'm accomplishing something. Today was a long swim and it felt great. I didn't want to do it, but damn it went well once I got in. It's the farthest I've gone (2200yds) and it was all pretty much without rest. I love that the swim is coming around. It's almost like following a training plan will help you get better or something... Jenn Good job with the race! Race Season Who else has some races coming up? Next week I'm going to the beach on vacation next week and I'm looking forward to morning runs and bike rides on the boardwalk. I'm not sure when that became my idea of a vacation, but oh well.... |

Member 3146 Carbondale, Illinois | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - Open For Business I think I have appeased the rain gods somehow. Lately, every time I want to go for a ride, even if the forecast says it is going to rain and the sky looks like it is about to dump buckets on me, I've managed to get in my ride. Maybe the rain gods like new bikes too! Anyway, it has been pretty busy around here lately--my oly plan is serious! I knew that before, but now that I'm in the middle of week two, it is real to me. This morning was a ride and weight workout (218 & 219/400). Just reserved a hotel room for my tri in two weeks. Question for the group: Do you all bring your bikes inside the hotel with you, or leave them in the car? I booked a nice hotel in a sorta run down city, so I was planning to carry mine into the room. Anyone ever have a hotel have a problem with this? |

Here is the race report. A few minutes slower than last year however my training volume has been lower due to the lingering PF in my right foot. I still had fun and there was a little bit of competition with a couple of co-workers. My other recent adventures include a 2 mile paddle on my SUP escorting and navigating a group of swimmers out to Avila Rock. Conditions were great and it was nice to get out on the water and help my fellow swimmers. |
